«El nombre de la rosa» is the historical mystery novel by Umberto Eco, published by RBA Editores in paperback (471 pages, in Spanish).
In 1327, the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville and his pupil Adso of Melk investigate a series of mysterious deaths in a Benedictine abbey in northern Italy. The plot combines the Gothic novel, the medieval chronicle and the detective story, and describes the religious and intellectual tensions of the 14th century.
The work was originally published in Italian as «Il nome della rosa» and the Spanish translation is by Ricardo Pochtar.
It is a read for lovers of historical fiction and mystery, set in the Middle Ages.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
